@papiblez.bsky.social Hey, I don't know if you'll remember but way back in 2021ish I posted some photos of my Constructicons on Twitter and you sent me signed comics. We had a lot of transitions after that but today I finally got them framed and look forward to hanging them up!

There is something magical about a photograph, in the way it can capture a fragment of places and times that would otherwise be lost forever. Bodies of work like Nichols's are priceless. How else could we see a moment through the eyes of someone nearly a century ago?

Welcome to the Overlook

I worked with Michelle on my Decay Theory columns and can't recommend her highly enough, her contributions improved them immensely. She gives excellent, insightful feedback/edits and is kind and supportive throughout. Some editors are difficult but Michelle always made the process fun.

I am so pleased that I got to work with @abandonedamerica.bsky.social on his column, Decay Theory. I’ve been a fan of Matthew’s work for years, and he’s wonderful to collaborate with. This piece about the town of Brownsville, Pennsylvania, was our most recent story together.
